Answer

HI Lisa Dale,

Is the pain very severe? Is it in one particular place? Have you ever had pain like this before? Have you tried lying down? Any fevers? Nausea? Vomiting? Are you having bowel movements? Diarrhea? Probably having something to drink will help you and some rest. But if the problem persists or gets worse and you develop any of the above things, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

my theory is that i ate larger than normal serving of chille (containing kidney beans and tomato sauce) on a very empty stomach and i am feeling the affects of a lot of acid. i do not have any nausea, vomiting, fever.   i have never had a problem with this type of food before.

Answer

I would suggest taking some mylanta or peptobismol which may help you feel better, but in all likelihood, this should resolve on its own in a few hours. The pepto may make your bowel movements dark - don't be alarmed. I hope you feel better.

Sure. They don't have anything to do with each other.
